FALL RIVER Essence and Allure, an online exhibit featuring the work of Andrew Maglathlin will be on view at the Narrows Center for the Arts through Feb. 11.
This online exhibition features Maglathlin‘s traditional pottery and the vessel as a reference and as a platform to merge sculpture and painting. Andrew’s pieces are ambiguous and evoke something in the viewer that is both familiar and at the same time distant. Painting multiple layers of glaze and slip, the pieces slowly progress through a metamorphosis, as a dialog is created between the form and surface.
Maglathlin was born and raised in Berkley. He had his first experience working with clay in high school when he took a ceramics class with David Robinson. He was instantly hooked on clay and continued to take the class for the rest of his time there.

Sometimes, all it takes is one person to make a difference.
In the case of former Salve Regina University student Kat Witschen, it was taking to Facebook to let dozens of other students know they were not alone.
In September, Witschen recounted her experiences of sexual misconduct involving bondage, filming, and the sharing of sexually explicit material at the hands of now-former Professor Tom Gleadow. GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST
“He also told me not to tell anyone because the other students would get ‘jealous,” wrote Witschen. “I write this so that no one else has to go through what I went through and to emphasize to my fellow actors that you should never swallow your discomfort. He also cannot be allowed to teach or direct anymore.”

Because of COVID-19, Johnson & Wales took its Ignite the Night ceremony for first year students online.

PROVIDENCE â As Rhode Island colleges and universities send their students home for winter vacation, their presidents, deans, and provosts are taking a collective deep breath.
Ornithologist Jameson Chace and his students at Salve Regina University walk the Cliff Walk in Newport every other week from December through March to count the ducks they see in the water. They often count large numbers of scoters, eiders, scaup, buffleheads and goldeneyes, but their numbers vary significantly from year to year.
The same phenomenon occurs throughout Narragansett Bay: Large numbers of ducks are observed some years and many fewer during other years. No one seems to know why.
âBecause birds move around a lot, we canât really say much about trends, but there have been years when Iâve seen rafts of scoters in massive numbers and many years when thereâs not,â said Chace, a professor of biology at Salve Regina and president of the Wilson Ornithological Society.
